Friends, we’re going back to basics today a la Amy Winehouse.

Minus Amy Winehouse.

I’ve spent the past couple of weeks assessing my recipes I’ve been sharing on here. While most, if not all of them are generally easy and on the sweeter side- I’ve realised many of them bypass the more classic flavors. Take today’s recipe for a classic cookie dough for one.

A few months ago, I first shared this delicious pumpkin cookie dough just when the northern hemisphere went cray-cray for pumpkin. Soon after, snickerdoodle wanted a piece of the (non-existent) pie. You can’t have cookie dough without sprinkles so cake batter had to have its turn. We then recently shared my personal favorite- Cookies and cream.

What about the classic version?

Bingo.

Through perusing my recipe archives, there has been a trend in which I bypass the original recipe idea and go full throttle with more creative spins on it. While there isn’t anything ‘wrong’ with that, I tend to forget to share the source of inspiration and as such- This needs to be rectified.

When I first teamed up with Kohl’s for this season, I promised to share quick, easy and delicious recipes families would enjoy. I’m saving the best for last sharing today’s recipe as it brings back amazing memories from my own childhood. Eating raw cookie dough has always been a massive ‘NO NO’ in our house. Mum told us we’d get worms, get thrown in jail and be chased by the Grinch.

This never stopped us and we’d sneakily dip our fingers in the batter and then blame one another for the lack of content going into the oven.

Now I have the perfect solution for you guys- A single serve classic cookie dough for one!

This healthy edible classic cookie dough for one has the taste and texture of real cookie dough but has none of the typical ingredients in one- It has no eggs, no white sugar or white flour. It also takes only five minutes to whip up and is the perfectly portioned snack or healthy treat for one! Naturally gluten-free, vegan, paleo and dairy free, it comes with a tested high protein option too!

HACK! While this most definitely can be mixed by hand, it has a much smoother texture when made in either a food processor or my handy dandy blender. If you use this option, reserve some of the chocolate chips to top them with!

Make this healthy edible classic cookie dough for one and while it’s nice to go fancy at times, let’s not forget about the basics.

Except salads. They are so basic.

From reading through the list of ingredients I know that I will LOVE this. But the true star here are the pictures! I love love love them! The texture looks spot on and I seriously NEED to make this for dinner today!

It’s amazing that this doesn’t have eggs in! I never actually knew that eating raw cookie dough was a no-no until I was about 18. I’m surprised I didn’t die considering how much raw batter I ate growing up! In fact, my best friend and I used to make pancake batter every weekend and just eat it raw. We were weird AF.

As mentioned before we didn’t really have the cake batter/ cookie dough eating thing in the UK – we just wanted them cooked ASAP! But we used to get told we’d get worms if we ate snow off the ground… I never paid attention to that… We used to pretend we were eating american ‘snow cones’! Haha! Something basic I adore… Have you ever had plain ice cream? Not vanilla just simply the cream? Like the one we both had in Amsterdam?! Stunning!

I know in another couple of your recipes, you specifically stated that whey protein leads to a gummy texture. Is that also true here or did you just choose to keep with vegan/paleo/casein powders for other’s lifestyle choices?

G’day, I’m Arman!
